Thenthere is another i very substan-
tipIattrattfoii whicit'is drawing hun
1lrcds of spectators; and. investors to
Anaheim to look at property. That is
the price at which property is still
being offered. Wfthlthe best soil in
the country With absolutely the
finest Water supply in Los ANGELES
county, and With such a perfect eli
mate, it might. : be. supposed rs that
lands would s-ba: held. taeresi at
fancy prices. But the fact is
property has not changed hands there
to any great extent. Inlthe early part
OF the "boom," when the people in
other sections were crazy to let igoiof
their realty at ridiculous prices. Ana
helm was thrifty, prosperous and
therefore Notwithstanding There
was no one in the, PLACE who, had any,
thing for sale. So the FIRST settlers
hold the property still. Now while
everything else las changed hands q
score OF times, and at each, transfer at
a. great Increase, in price, Anaheim
property is not inflated 10y such a
process. 1t has only just begun to

fact, and they are now going in in
force to grab a piece beforelthe boom
ers get it tod high. Rates are OIL an

month ago. are in aspositien' to- get
konle benefit out OF their invest

in d mooA to take advantage OF this
possibility. They think they seq far
better things in store for them later
on, and instead of sci ling arow most Of
them aie buying lalore.s.i Where else
in the country can the best lands,
with plenty OF water, be had for $500
an acre. These statements are abse-
lutely tf,fee.e The "lands are the
best, the climate ise4e the
finest, the water the most
abundant, and the priee, il, cheap as
this. "Nyhere can you duplicate such
4 purchase ?" said the real estate man,
''fhis 500 an here land IL right in,
Epwn, near the two depots. 1 tell you
there is nothing like it in Los Angeles
county, and the buyers are getting to
know this" Thus spoke the enthusi-
astic Anaheiner, and from what he
knows OF the matter the reporter is
inclined to think he is right. But IN
